Throughout everyones life, we all seek the meaning and reason of why we are here, and what’s the point in life. Many of us lose the curiosity of what life is all about as time passes by. People start to find other things to fill the void of the curiousness that is human. Looking at the world through my eyes, the majority of all I see are materialistic, closed minded, money hoarding, uneducated and selfish people. I’m not saying that everyone is like that, but its become a common trend in society and I think its very sad. Money has been the downfall of society, I’m not saying that money is bad, but its all people care about nowadays. People lost touch with nature and the beauty that surrounds us everyday. And this is one of the reasons I never pushed myself to become a doctor, a lawyer or whatever career that my parents and family wanted me to get in because they make a lot of money.

Everyone needs to stop, close their eyes, take a deep breathe and then slowly open their eyes and see the world, the gift of life that was given to us. Everyone revolves their lives around money but they should realize that they had already won the lottery, the gift of life. Its the most precious gift that anyone could receive. I just wish people would just open their eyes, just for one day and the time to get reacquainted with what it truly means to live, without worries, bills, work, etc….

All I am saying is, take a breathe, relax, and philosophize about what the meaning of life truly is.
